Got my TZT3 connected to my main transducer finally. Was waiting on a mix and match 12pin from airmar and got it last week. Moved over from a Garmin setup and the transducer is the standard B275LHW airmar mix and match. Several questions - first ones related to the screenshot. The b275lhw top right - Dff3d bottom right. Speed 14knots. At any speed below 8 to 10 knts both sounders work as expected. At the 14knt cruise the dff3d acts as I would expect when getting bubble/turbulence from choppy seas. It looses bottom/return intermittently. The b275 does the opposite. It shows a massive spike in return. The tvg erases the top 50ft, tvg off and it goes the whole screen. They do not coincide with the dff3d return loss but the transducers are on different sides of the boat.
Depth bounces on the b275 with the returns hence the difference.

This is what it looks like as you accelerate from a troll up to cruise - right sides of sounder screens.

Other questions. Is the b275lhw opperating as chirp or traditional. It will only display 200khz and 53khw on the screen when in either high or low frequency. Should it not identify as chirp high or chirp low? Also it will not allow me to select any different frequencies that those 2. I can enter a different frequency in the transducers range but after about 5 seconds the TZT3 changes it back to either 53 or 200khz. It will only identify the ducer under the TDID. Under model it selects another transducer. maybe thats normal.

All of the screenshots were with it identified correctly by the TZT3. The above screenshot is just for reference.
